Detailed Description

The base network layer provides functionality for identifying a specific network layer at run-time.

For example this functionality is needed for the famouso::mw::nal::NetworkAdapter and for the realisation of Gateways (famouso::mw::gwl::Gateway).

Member Function Documentation

const DistinctNL* famouso::mw::nl::DistinctNL::id (  )  [inline]

get the id of the specific network layer

The functionality is realised by returning the this pointer of the network layer that is always unique within a system, and therefore no additional identification facilities or resources have to be wasted.

Returns:
a pointer on "this"
